Profile

I turn practical mechanical problems into clear designs, thoughtful prototypes, and useful test plans.

Education

B.S. Mechanical Engineering

Westbridge University · Expected May 2027

Experience

Mechanical Design Intern

Northline Fabrication · May–August 2026

• Updated bracket drawings and assembly notes after reviewing shop-floor feedback with a design engineer.
• Compared mounting concepts for adjustment access and documented the checks needed before fabrication.
• Organized revision notes so the team could connect each drawing change to its original issue.

Selected projects

Inspection camera support

Individual course design study. I compared a shallow section, a deeper section, and a diagonal brace. The brace occupied the work envelope and added another joint. I selected the deeper section for further development because it increased bending stiffness while keeping the underside open.

Thermal test fixture

Fixture layout and test-protocol lead in a four-person course team. I replaced two adjustable stops with a fixed datum edge and a removable end stop. That reduced the number of settings the operator needed to recreate. A shallow sensor channel kept the lead routing outside the sample contact area.

Adjustable sensor bracket

Concept selection and drawing-review exercise. A fixed-hole plate was simplest to machine but offered no adjustment. A sliding rail added parts and cost. I chose a two-slot plate with a separate locating surface so the fasteners could lock the setting without acting as the only datum.
